Despite rumours, Saddam Hussein’s daughters will continue to be a part of Iraqi politics

There were political talks last year which suggested that Raghad Saddam Hussein will not be a part of the political sphere in Iraq but dismissing all those claims, the eldest daughter of Saddam Hussein said that she will continue to be part of the Iraqi politics.

As per recent media reports, the eldest daughter of the late Iraqi leader suggested that it is very much possible for her to play an active role in Iraqi politics. It was after a special program on Al Arabiya on Monday, when the Raghad spoke about her relationship with her father along with views on recent politics in Iraq.

She said this when the journalist asked her about her direct involvement in Iraqi politics to which the 51-year-old leader said that ‘everything is possible’. Along with talking about her political future, she also talked about Iran’s interference in the country’s matter.

She slammed the Iraninan interference in the region and stressed on the violations that allegedly carried out by the Iranians in the absence of ‘real power’ in the country. This interview has left many to feel that she might be finding a way to return to the country and be a part of the political campaigns as the situation in Iraq continues to be solution-less.

She is the eldest daughter of the late leader, born in 1967 in Baghdad but left for Jordan in 2003 after the United States invaded the country. She was found to be a really powerful force when her father was leading the country especially in the legal sector. She also organized legal defense during the trial that led to his execution.

Last year in December, Hussein pointed fingers at the Iran interference in Iraq post Saddam rule.  It was the 14th anniversary of her father’s execution where she sharply criticized the Iranian involvement. The audio clip was published through her twitter account but she refrained from speaking about the Americans who toppled her father in 2003.

She described them as “enemies of justice, freedom, and humanity.“My father and brothers resisted the occupiers until the end, until achieving martyrdom” she said as she talked about Saddam and her two brothers. She also encourages Iraqis who have been resisting Iran’s interference and saving themselves from humiliation.

Iran had attacked her back with an editorial piece on their website where they took a dig at the execution of the late leader and pointed out that it was her uncle who did this to the family. The article referred to Hussein Kamel Al Majid, who was the one to defect from Saddam’s regime.

Israeli settlers have once again attacked religious minorities in the region, this time targeting a church in East Jerusalem.

  According to reports, the settlers assaulted clerics and worshippers at the Church of the Sepulchre of Saint Charbel, causing damage to the property and injuring several people.
